Each term we hand our stunning Grade II* listed Great Hall over to university students, giving them a free hand to respond to and inhabit the setting as they wish. Accompanying the music - ranging from free jazz to experimental to contemporary classical - will be a display of photographs, pamphlets, and poetry from the Institute’s archive collections.

The bar will remain open after the concert for those who want to stay.
